Brotherhood
|
Throughout your stay at Penn College the friendships you make within Sigma Pi will be the strongest and will be the ones that last a lifetime. These bonds are not only among members for each individual chapter, but amongst chapters around the nation, due to the history and the ideals that each chapter was founded upon. The stigma is that fraternities only have brothers who are all the same. The reality, is that it is very hard to meet such a variety of people in one area.

-There is an academic requirement for a member to be in good standing.
-Advice and tutoring from older brothers who know the courses and the professors.
-The Sigma Pi Educational Foundation Scholarships.
